Om Meditation

Over the past sixty years, mantra meditation programs have become increasingly important. In medical and psychological community "OM" or "AUM" mantra meditation is a means of helping people, whether they be clinically sick or healthy. Scientifically demonstrated benefits of mantra meditation practice include an increase in the body's ability to heal and a shift from a tendency to use the right prefrontal cortex to a tendency to use the left prefrontal cortex, associated with a trend away from depression and anxiety and towards happiness, relaxation, and emotional balance.

Meditation of OM is the supreme. There is nothing above that. Om is the supreme Love. Om is the supreme protection. Om is the highest wisdom. Om is the word of God. Om is the absolute power. Om is the supreme God. Om is the creator. Om is the Lover. Om is the protector. Om is the highest Goal. Om is the supreme awareness. Meditate on OM. OM is the ultimate. There is nothing beyond that.

Philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti defined meditation as:

Meditation is a state of mind which looks at everything with complete attention, totally, not just parts of it. And no one can teach you how to be attentive. If any system teaches you how to be attentive, then you are attentive to the system and that is not attention. Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life - perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody, that is the beauty of it. It has no technique and therefore no authority. When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy - if you are aware of all that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation.

The key to Christian meditation is focusing attention to the God's Word. The power comes from the God's word.

The Psalm 19:14 states, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight...", which means, let my words and thoughts be in sync.

Sri Ramana Maharshi said:

The single sound [Om] shines for ever in the heart as the Self. Earnest seekers who, incessantly and with a steady mind, repeat ‘Om’ will attain success. By repetition of the pure ‘Om’ the mind is withdrawn from sense objects and becomes one with the Self.

Sri Shankara said:

Meditation is 'neither-inner-nor-outer' it is is nothing other than the consciousness, the abodeless abode of the consciousness only.
